New Land Rover Range Rover option

Land Rover has announced the introduction of a new 2WD option

Land Rover has announced the introduction of a new 2WD option in addition to the 4WD derivative for the new compact Land Rover Range Rover. This new 2WD Land Rover Range Rover will emit less than 130g/km co2 emissions making it the lightest and most fuel efficient Range Rover ever.

Phil Popham, Land Rover managing director said &ldquo;a Range Rover 2WD option is just one way in which we are developing our vehicles efficiency whilst adding to the Land Rover range and expanding our customer base.&nbsp; We will continue to make the &#39;world&#39;s finest all-terrain vehicles&#39; for those customers who require 4WD but will also now offer an alternative to those that don&#39;t.&quot;&nbsp; This new addition will be on sale in 2011.&nbsp; By the end of 2010 Land Rover will be testing the first diesel hybrid prototype called the &#39;range_e&#39; which is being developed using a Range Rover Sport platform. Tests of this vehicle will use the existing 3.0 litre TDV6 diesel engine featuring a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. The goal is to achieve a range of 20 miles using electric power only emitting less than 100 g/km of CO2 emissions and to achieve a top speed of around 120 mph.&nbsp; The first diesel hybrid will be available in 2012 and on the road in 2013.
